I had my first fill today. I explained to the doctor that I am always hungry. He said my first fill should control the hunger and if not to come back in 2 weeks to get another fill. Well, I feel as I always did. I went out for lunch and would have been able to finish my plate (I didn't and of course remained hungry). Same with dinner tonight. I thought I would at least feel a little restriction-I mean, this is why I had the surgery . They filled me with 1cc and my band can hold up to 6cc. He did say that on "refills" they will only do .5 at a time. I know it's a slow process but needed to vent anyway. Lucy :hungry:

How is everyone getting so much cc's in their fills? I only got 1cc on my first fill and they say there after I will only get .5 on future fills. How do people get 5 & 6 cc's? I'm jealous! Lucy

I only got 1 CC on my 1st fill too. ( ihave the new band) I had surgery on Aug. 8th-got my 1st fill on Sept. 20th & they won't refill me til Nov. 5th. & I have no restriction!! Can anyone say crazy??? I may find another doc!!

Hang on, Lucy! You're right. It's a process. I just got my 2nd fill Tuesday of this week and feel little if any restriction. But then I've only 1.8 cc in a 4 cc band. We'll get there. Just work the rules and be mindful of what you're doing. I found out last night what being "stuck" feels like. I popped a piece of white meat chicken in my mouth, hit it a couple times, and swallowed. Ouch. A reminder of what I've done, what I've committed to. I've gleaned from the posts of our sisters here that in a 4 cc band, 2.5 seems to be the right fill for most. We'll see. Hold on, sweetie -- we'll get there.
